Probe - GE Coli Top Owner's Manual

Using the probe.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe
takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
The temperature probe has a skewer-
like probe at one end and a plug at the
other end that goes into the outlet in
the oven.
If the probe is removed from the food before the final temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the display will flash until the
probe is removed from the oven.
You can use the timer even though you cannot use timed oven operations while using the probe.
(on some models)
Use of probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the food
and outlet.
I To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs
to pull on the cable when removing it.
I To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is
completely defrosted before inserting.
I To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe
from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a
trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these
directions for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat.
It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into
the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham
or lamb, insert the probe into the center of
the lowest large muscle.
How to Set the Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe
Insert the probe into the food.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the oven.
Make sure it's pushed all the way in. Close
the oven door. Make sure the probe cable
is not touching the broil element.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the desired
internal food or meat temperature.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the desired
oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.
The display will flash if the probe is inserted
into the outlet and you have not set a probe
temperature and touched the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the word LO will
be in the display.
I Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
I Do not store the probe in the oven.
Plug
Handles
Insert the probe into the center of dishes such
as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg
of a whole turkey.
After the internal temperature of the food
reaches 100°F., the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of the
food reaches the number you have set, the
probe and the oven turn off and the oven
control signals. To stop the signal, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to remove
the probe from the food. Do not use tongs
to pull on it—they might damage it.
To change the oven temperature during the
Roast cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the
number pads to set the new temperature.
